This film is a call for tribal solidarity. It reveals the approaching trauma of two lakh tribals who will be displaced under the Polavaram Dam Project on river Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project is estimated to submerge four hundred villages and four thousand hectres of forest in Dandakaranya. Large-scale projects often created islands of development in the midst of under-development perpetuating regional imbalances. Past experiences have shown that development paradigms are often discriminatory against the tribal communities and other marginalized sections of society. Development is meaningful only when it is sustainable. India needs an alternative way of development which combines traditional methods with environmentally sustainable technologies. Only then will it be able to sustain its diverse cultures and promote the welfare of the tribals.

Now that the nominations are out, the big question on everyone's mind is: will there be an Academy Awards show this year? Our panel of experts discuss how the writer's strike could affect the show.

This ethnographic film in two parts deals with the nature-man interaction and the associated belief system. It examines the features of the environment and ecology in relation to the Koya economic system - the interaction of productive forces and the natural resources. The economy, the social organization and the religion of the Koyas are closely inter-related, inter-dependent and interacting. The basis of enormous diversity in the Indian cultural matrix lies in its varied ecological conditions. The interplay of nature and culture is implicit in the little traditions of the sub-continent. The Koya culture is unique in adapting itself to its natural setting.

The Samanthas or the Khonds of Visakhapatnam agency of Andhra Pradesh, India are one of the few surviving "primitive tribal groups". They speak the language called "Kuvi". Slash and burn cultivation is the major source of livelihood for the Samanthas. Though the modern commercial exploitation of forests has restricted the areas available to the native tribesmen, there remains several tribal societies in India representing various modes of archaic farming which followed in time that of hunters and gatherers.

Throat Singing is an interesting form of singing that was originally meant for entertainment among Inuit women while men were away on hunting trips rather than for performance. It is like a breathing game where the first to run out of breath, stop, or laugh loses. Two young Inuits demonstrate this vocal marvel and produce captivating sounds.

Northern Michigan University Indigenous 2008 Earth Day Summit Turtle Island Project Director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard: Indigenous Peoples, women and children are all thought of as expendable commodities We have lost any sense of the sacred. (Marquette, Michigan) - Many of the rich around the world view Indigenous Peoples, women and children as expendable commodities, said Turtle Island Project Director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard during Northern Michigan University 2008 Indigenous Earth Day Summit. Hubbard added he fears for the future of mankind and the planet because we have lost any sense of the sacred. NMU PhotoVictor Steffensen performing on the didgeridoo at the Indigenous Earth Day Summit. The summit was a two-day event to gather and discuss ideas on how to obtain and share traditional ecological knowledge from Indigenous elders and put it in to practical use.--- The summit was held on Earth Day 2008 on the NMU campus in Marquette, Michigan near the shores of Lake Superior. The two-day summit - the first of its kind at NMU - was April 22-23. Photo by Ms. Aim e Cree Dunn, NMU Center for Native American Studies, Adjunct Instructor The summit keynote was the Australian Aboriginal Delegation (Barry Hunter, John Hunter and Victor Steffensen). The delegation is bringing the Traditional Knowledge Revival Pathways project to Native communities in Michigan.--- The other keynote presenter was Garry Morning Star Raven , a traditional Ojibwe teacher from Manitoba.--- Turtle Island Project Director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard of Munising, Michigan was part of the Panel II discussion. Rev. Hubbard said some Christians condemn Native American spirituality. He said that amounts to spiritual terrorism. I think we have here two different forms of religion, said Turtle Island Project Director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard. And it s this religion of my ancestors that I participate in that I think really has been the problem. I think we have to come to understand that religious consciousness evolves just like anything else does, Hubbard said. It's not just the material world that evolves but also our cultural world evolves and the realm of the concept evolves. Rev. Hubbard, who is pastor of Eden on the Bay Lutheran Church in Munising, Michigan, said Christians should wake up and begin listening to Earth-based cultures. We are going now, as a people - there was a time from prehistorical religions to historic religions - the religions of the book Judaism, Christianity, Islam - to this historic period, Hubbard said. Now I think that religious consciousness is transending to this transrational understanding of spirituality. Hubbard said that as part of this transrational understanding of spirituality is an appropriation of this knowledge and spirituality of Earth-based cultures. So its not going back, it's not criticizing buts it's learning from one another, Hubbard said. It's very difficult because Euro-American people have had power for so long its subconscious to us, Hubbard said. We don't even realize how imperialistic we are, Hubbard said. It's very difficult for us to understand that - to get in contact with our own badness - because we have been projecting that on other people for so long it's very difficult for us but we have to do this now. Photo courtesy: johntrudell.com --- Rev. Hubbard, who co-founded the TIP, quoted ideas from well-known Native American author and activist John Trudell. I think we have to be open now to what John Trudell called spirit making and escape. I love this idea. My spirit needs to make an escape from my religious consciousness. Hubbard said that one of the ways my spirit has been greatly helped to make this escape from the techologic mining process that we all go through - is because of the grace of God. I got to become friends with many people who extended friendship to me and taught me how to listen - taught me about myself and taught me these great learnings and teachings and wisdom that can come from our brothers and sisters - who still - despite their painful history at our hands that still goes on today. The racial and cultural genocide that still goes on today inside this country - they taught me how to transcend myself and how to get to this other higher level of spiritual consciousness, he said. And I am very grateful for that, Hubbard said. Responding to a question from the audience, Dr. Hubbard said some religions even resort to violence in proclaiming they are the superior religion. Judaism is an inherently ethical religion except you have to be a Canaanite, Hubbard said. You may get your ass kicked or your head cut off but basically it's OK, he said. But sky Gods and cultures that worship sky Gods are traditionally barbaric. Read the Old Testament. Wow! Talk about patriarchy. But we are in a war, Hubbard said. It is not a war of my choosing but we are in a war. I truly believe that it is a war for our hearts and our minds, he said. Answering a question from those gathered, Rev. Hubbard said even today it s controversial to speak about the core beliefs of Jesus like poverty, social justice, and other issues. Rev. Hubbard knows first hand the reaction that comes when you speak about the poor while criticizing some modern day entities that are part of creating a two-class system due to an incident at his church. However, he encouraged those present to keep fighting for racial and environmental justice. We have to continually fight, Hubbard said. It's multi-generational. We fight against great principalities and powers, he said. It's amazing. If you stick your head up out of the foxhole just a little bit and you start speaking on behalf of the poor - those bullets are flying, Hubbard said. Hubbard said the incident start when I said something about a corporation. I said we created these corporations and political structures that aren't moral entities because if you are a moral entity you have to say things like: I'm sorry. I made a mistake.' You have to admit your humanness. When's the last time your heard a politician ever admit a mistake unless they were forced to? I did not have sex with that woman - I did not inhale - yes I smoked but I did not inhale. I said some corporations are like this too - they are not moral entities because they cannot do these things like apologize, Hubbard said. Well, good Lord that's attacking a sacred cow, he said. There's a guy in my congregation who just went ballistic - who quit the church because he had spent his entire life benefitting from, working for, a non-moral entity, he said. I did not say all corporations were liked this - I just said some corporations are like this, Hubbard said. Well that's all you have to say. And you start talking to Euro-American people about the reality of Native American peoples - in my world, Hubbard said with a look of exasperation while shaking his head and pointing to another audience member who had a question. Rev. Hubbard said Americans - and all people who call Earth home - need to protect the environment. He said we have lost the sense of the sacred - a lesson that can be learned from Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples. I understand this because I feel desperate, Hubbard said. What John Trudell was talking about is the same way - we've lost our way. Photo courtesy Public Broadcasting Corp. PBS.org--- We do not have any spiritual sense because we have lost any sense of the sacred, Hubbard said. Photo of Mircea Eliade courtesy:http://autori.humanitas.ro/eliade--- A great historian of the religions Mircea Eliade who was at the University of Chicago where I for many years - I did his funeral, Hubbard said. Mircea Eliade had this notion that in order to have a hierophany - an experience of the sacred - you have to have sacred space, he said. If this Earth is not sacred to you - which it isn't to Mickey Mouse - then you can't have an experience of the sacred, Hubbard said. I deal with people every day in my congregation who have lost or are losing any sense of the sacred. And it's not only - like you were saying this relationship between Earth and women - and the earth and man. If you do not have power in a capitalistic society - you become part of - and you are thought of in terms of the Earth. Concerned about the future of the human race, Dr. Hubbard said the rich look down on the poor. He said humans should not be measured by wealth. Women who have less economic power, children who don't have any power at all unless somebody gives it to them - Indigenous communities - you are all thought of as expendable commodities.

TIP founders believes that species extinction and global warming are among the measures that demonstrate the dire future for Earth and humans if we don't change our attitudes. Tip points out that nearly 15,600 species are threatened with extinction, according to several 2007 United Nations reports. The U.N. reports state that almost one-third of the world's species of animals and plants are expected to be at risk of extinction within 50 years due to climate change. During the interfaith retreat for religious leaders in late 2007, TIP director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard said it's the responsibility of clergy to speak out on social issues like the abuse of the environment and racism. Turtle Island Project founders say Euro-Americans can learn a lot from Earth-based cultures like the Celts and Native Americans. TIP co-founder rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton, Indiana said the human race and the planet (therefore its wildlife) are facing a Kyros Moment that demands a change in the basic way humans view and treat the planet and its natural inhabitants. Kyros is a Greek word for occasion' or timing. Kyros is the art of seizing the moment - a combination of understood context and proper timing. Additional bio info on Rev.
